It's something that runs much deeper.I believe that the true soul of a place is revealed by how it takes care of its people and especially those who are usually forgotten. My home is Hawaii. I live in a place that's half the world away from Bhutan.And I bring to you the magic of the spirit of Allah. Yes, Hawaii is beautiful, but the Hawaii that shapes us is more than its beauty. It's about our way of l ...

I started my first business when I was 8 years old. Every Sunday I would stand by the side of the road and I would collect the manure from my horses and I would put it into these big white hesshen bags and sell those bags for $2 a piece to my neighbors who were trying to improve their gardens. On a good day, I went home with $20 in my back pocket.Even at 8, I tasted potential. I tasted dependence and I liked it. In my 20s and 30s, I built what most people would consider a successful career.I left a comforta ...

My father has this joke that he likes to tell whenever he's with his friends and my brother and I are around. Every time his friends try to ask us a question before we can respond, he first says, "Oh, they don't really care." Now, while I do find this more annoying than funny, it is true that we say I don't care a lot. And I don't think this is just a line we say. A lot of times we embody it and we live like we don't care.And today I would like to examine why this is the case. To start, I would first like t ...
